ROMAN CHARITY





Most people like these paintings until they know the story. What is initially seen as erotic (or at least an attempt to be erotic) often provokes reactions of repugnance, acceptance and eventually admiration as the story unfolds.

Roman Charity is an enduring story of a woman Pero who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, after he is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation. Her father is taking breast milk from her to keep him alive while imprisoned.

The story is recorded by the ancient Roman historian Valerius Maximusin’s Nine Books of Memorable Acts and Sayings of the Ancient Romans.

Many artists, including Caravaggio, have painted this scene. Above are the photograph of Max Sauco and the paintings of Dirck van Baberen (c1623); and below are Peter Paul Rubens (c1612), and an unknown Pompeii fresco (mid-first century).

It’s been found that 35 per cent of fathers have tasted the breast milk of their ’s mother.

Do you like these paintings? If so, what one do you like the best?
Were you breast-fed as a baby?
Have you tasted breast milk as an adult?

I like them all. I think I prefer the van Beuberen . She is glancing off to her right, watchfully, and has the look of a loving child.

Were you breast-fed as a baby?
for a brief time, and then switched to a bottle. I approve of breast feeding in private and in public.

Have you tasted breast milk as an adult?
Yes. I think that kind of feeding is best practiced in private.

I like the Reubens painting...the others not much.

I wasn't breast fed.

I haven't tasted it at all.

I agree with you totally about Max Sauco's photographs.
I don't even know whether I was a booby-baby or not!

    I'm not a fan of this type of thing at all... Maybe I'm too unsophisticated to "get it".
I don't think art is about sophistication, much as some art lovers would have it; you either like it or you don't.

I don't know whether I was breast-fed or not; it's something I forgot to ask my parents.

    Yes!

    Michael Angelo and fine artists like that.
    Were you breast-fed as a baby?
    Yes, and I believe that is why I still like to suck on nipples today!
    Have you tasted breast milk as an adult?
    No!
There's something evolutionary about sucking nipples!

It's a great story, which is also told in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath book.

I like the Reubens painting, but I also like the van Baberen's painting as it seems to capture the moment.

I don't like Max Sauco's photograph at all, and I like van Baberen's painting the most of this great story.

I forgot to ask my mother whether I was breast-fed or not. I'll never know because there's no point asking my younger brother!

I forgot to ask my parents when they were alive whether I was breast-fed or not as a baby.

I don't have any inklings to breast-feed from a lactating woman. Things may change if I ever starve in the future though!

I think the Roman Charity story is repeated in John Steinbecks' The Grapes of Wrath novel.
